In the whole of the New Testament there is not one joke, that fact alone would invalidate any book.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The so called unconscious inferences can be traced back to the all-preserving memory, which presents us with parallel experiences and hence already knows the consequences of an action. It is not anticipation of the effects rather, it is the feeling: identical causes, identical effects . . .
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Our knowledge will take its revenge on us, just as ignorance exacted its revenge during the Middle Ages.
